What is a whale ship or factory ship?

Those were big ships equipped to hunt and process whales. They carried boats to actually hunt and kill the whales, plus the machinery to process the carcass, rendering it into meat and blubber- boiled down into oil.

I've seen some pictures of some of them, they had room to actually drag the carcass into the ship to work on it.
